RPM of BrOffice.org
by Claudio F Filho 26 Mar '09

26 Mar '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi My name is Claudio Filho and i was the L10N lead and yet am the marketing contact and native language to Brazil and pt-BR of OpenOffice.org project. Recently, Thiago told with me about the BrOffice.org(Broo) and i asked why haven't the Broo in CentOS. Today, he sent me informations about this list, i read all the thread, and now i will try to reply all questions about this thread. Just to make some things a little clearer. The name "Open Office" is trademarked in Brazil. The logo, splash and other branding elements are not. The trademark itself is registered in Brazil's Patent and Trademark Office[1] (INPI) and can be checked at their site. Unfortunately there is no direct link... [1]http://www.inpi.gov.br/ Because this problem, the owner of brand/trademark started a juridic campaign to get money of people that are using "OpenOffice*" in Brazil and requesting compensations($$) from developers like the brazilian OOo team and Sun Microsystems. They have *goods* lawyers, and we has luck of to get help with lawyers of Federal Gov for our defense. The result is that all user (win, mac or linux) that use a program 'OpenOffice*' (can be "Open Office", "OpenOffice" or "OpenOffice.org"), by interpretation of INPI, is breaking the copyrights of owner of the brand. So, by determination of Federal Government, is denied the use of "OpenOffice*", and the official option is BrOffice.org. To protect our devels and users, we created a NGO (with the same name) and registered the brand 'BrOffice.org' saving our necks (and of our users) of juridic problems. In 2006, i spoke with Rene Engelhard, lead of OOo team in Debian, about our problem and he created a "semi" meta-package[2] of Broo in him distro. Why "semi" meta-pkg? Because this pkg depends of OOo pkgs and have more the files and changes of name and images (splash, about, etc), with ~3.8Mb. [2]http://packages.debian.org/sid/broffice.org Today, for brazilian users that uses Debian haven't legal problems, and what Thiago (and me) wishes is extend this legal situation to brazilian users of CentOS. Ah! and the more important is that Broo NOT IS a fork of OOo. Broo is the pt-BR OOo! This question was discussed in the OOo Council and approved, and reflected in our page[3] inside of OOo Project.

SPARC Beta el5 SRPMS ?
by d b 25 Mar '09

25 Mar '09

To all... I know the Sparc EL5 port is beta/alpha/gamma... I was able to install base server package using a tftp image. ls -la /tftpboot/tftp64.img -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9154949 Mar 24 16:39 /tftpboot/tftp64.img I even was able to download the recent curl-7.15.5-2.1.el5.4 update from redhat and rebuild it... (After installing alot of other rpms) . Using "sparc32 rpmbuild -ba specfile" worked like a champ.. Great job. The Sparc EL5 port works in my book. How can I get the SRPMS used to build the sparc el5 port?... It looks like a few have sparc specific changes/additions... For example... silo-1.4.13-8.c5sparc.src.rpm initscripts-8.45.17.EL-1.c5sparc.1.src.rpm There are others but I can only find a couple at http://sparc.centos.org/os/SRPMS/ Some of the rpms were recently rebuilt so someone is using t2000-c5 for fun....

An introduction and a s390 effort
by Sascha Thomas Spreitzer 24 Mar '09

24 Mar '09

Hello contributors and OSS friends, (Who am I?) My name is Sascha Thomas Spreitzer and I live in the eastern outback of Munich in Bavaria Germany. I am 23 years old and started with C and GNU Linux in the early age of 13. (What am I doing?) Most time I spend in the office fixing Unix dependant problems. Since now at Germanys biggest stock broker "Baader Bank". In future (starting first of April) ill design and realize AIX and z/Linux environments for the government insurance sector. If I'm not in the office, I go out with my girlfriend Lisa and we enjoy the little time we have together. I used to do traditional Shotokan Karate in JKA style. But stopped it a year ago, because I had no time left to do it. In holidays I try to gain progress with my software development skills. (Why centos and what I'm up to?) I had a chance to get a look at IBM's z/Series in the past and it arouse my interest. Some years passed and now I have to face z/Linux in my new position. >From the skills I gained in the past and the skills i'll gain in future, I want to contribute back to the community. Since a decade I'm using OSS and I deeply esteem the freedom. It's time for me to contribute. PS.: you can can IM me via IRC or Jabber: irc.freenode.net: sspreitzer Jabber: icefox(a)im.relinked.org -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, / with kind regards, Sascha Thomas Spreitzer http://spreitzer.name/

Forum migration: newbb_to_phpbb
by Alain Reguera Delgado 24 Mar '09

24 Mar '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Guys, During the last few weeks I've been working on a migration script (newbb_to_phpbb) based on a code provided to me by Marcus Moeller to move Xoops+CBB forums, topics and posts into phpBB system. The users are copied from xoops user table onto an LDAP server. More information in the wiki page: http://wiki.centos.org/WebsiteVer2/forums/newbb_to_phpbb It would be nice if you could test this application, and check the overall process so we can get what we need to migrate newbb to phpbb. The application's download link is in the wiki page above. Note that it is in a test mode yet and requesting for comments.

CentOS-2 key expired (resend)
by John Newbigin 23 Mar '09

23 Mar '09

I though I was going crazy because rpm would not accept my password to sign some new rpms. The problem is however that the gpg key has expired: pub 1024D/16FF0E46 2004-03-15 CentOS-2 Key <centos-2key(a)caosity.org> sub 2048g/63E158BD 2004-03-15 [expires: 2009-03-14] Who is looking after keys now? Do I need a new one or should I try and extend the old one? The caos key which was used to sign the key has also expired. Advice is most welcome. Thanks John. -- John Newbigin ITS Senior Analyst / Programmer Faculty of Information and Communication Technologies Swinburne University of Technology Melbourne, Australia http://www.ict.swin.edu.au/staff/jnewbigin

Trac 0.11 Theme Customization
by Alain Reguera Delgado 19 Mar '09

19 Mar '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Guys, We have a theme customization for trac-0.11.3-1.el5.rf in: https://projects.centos.org/svn/artwork/trunk/Extras/Trac/0.11 and some screenshots in: https://projects.centos.org/trac/artwork/browser/trunk/Extras/Trac/0.11/Tou… It would be nice if someone could test it and comment about it. After that, I think that the Trac upgrade planned some time ago could take place if nothing else delays it.

> > I've been struggling to install the httpd 2.2.8, php 5.2.6 and postgresql 8.2.9 RPMS in testing on a minimal CentOS 5.2 due to issues with libpq and apr-utils.

Except that I want to install PG 8.2.9 (from testing), which appears to install libpq.so.5 Do you mean that postgresqlclient81-8.1.11-1.el5s2.x86_64.rpm is similar to the compat-postgresql-libs RPM I mentioned above? Is it happy to install without dependency problems alongside PG 8.2.9?

Spacewalk client tools inclusion
by Justin Sherrill 17 Mar '09

17 Mar '09

Hi All, I'm working on getting the rhn-client tools (that have traditionally been not included in centos) into the distro so it can be used with spacewalk more easily and invite any of those interested to help. Since 5.3 has already been released, we're targeting to include it in extras for now. I've created a wiki page to track the progress here: https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/CentPackages I figured a meeting would be good for interested parties to discuss what needs to be done and to divvy up the tasks. How about next Wednesday (3/25) at 21:00 GMT (5:00 pm EST). Thanks -- Justin Sherrill, RHCA 1801 Varisty Drive. Software Engineer Raleigh, NC 27603 Red Hat, Inc.
